Since first visiting FBC in 1998, Pastor Steve has had many roles within our congregation. He originally served as Associate for Youth Ministries but now serves as a pastor for the entire congregation. His primary ministries are teaching during Sunday morning services, overall church leadership, and outreach to the Tri-State area.

God has blessed Steve to share God’s love on 5 continents and over 35 countries. He has degrees from West Virginia University, Dallas Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. in Anthropology and Human Development from Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY. He is married to Deanna, his wife of over 25 years, and they have three children (Titus, Johnna, and Lucas).

Steve enjoys sports, the outdoors, and traveling for the purpose of mission work and experiencing God’s creation. (He’s still hoping for a single-digit golf handicap, but it’s looking more and more like that will have to wait until after the rapture!)
